Hi all,

With the popularity of Joomla in Ethiopia you can get a lot more volunteers than this. How about you initiate the project, work on a few lines of translations yourself, make that code available and ask for help onward? Once that is done you can also propose the project on the joomla official localization site itself and get a lot more translators.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Launchpad.net is Ubuntu's project for software translation (search the web and there are plenty of similar projects), checked it and there is a Joomla CMS translation trunk. You can initiate your Amharic translation from there. 

• https://launchpad.net/joomla 
  
• (or this one) https://translations.launchpad.net/joomla-localization

Once you start translating, you might find the following sites useful

• http://www.amharicdictionary.com/ (Amharic - English Dictionary)
  
• http://www.google.com/inputtools/try/ (Google's input tool, to write Amharic anywhere)
  
• http://www.poedit.net/ (gettext catalog editor (.po editor))

Anyone starting to translate, attached is an image on how a po editor may look like (WordPress amharic translation am working on).

Translating on launchpad unless it is the official translation site is useless. It will not make it upstream. Always first see the official documentation to see how one should go about translating.

Hello,

Where are you translating? Any permanent address to specific project in launchpad or similar? //FT

[Fiseha Tesfaw]

As Tegegne indicated, you may not like to go on launchpad to create your joomla translation pack, here is a full instruction from the official site of Joomla!.

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for the link. I was more thinking if there is a project on a place where some of us can translate together. I am more familier to using Drupal and Wordpress. It is okey to translate Joomla as long as we know it is more used in Ethiopia. I am in to translate whatever but you guys who have experience can give me a clue or a place to translate together instead me making a language pack. Together is fun, i think. Tegegne knows a said will start to translate some years but that did not happen partly i am lazy partly because of lack of common place. //FT

Best regards

Great, How about we start translating for WordPress? I know it's against the topic but am sure common words are inheritable.

Here is the step:

1. Download this little application and install
   http://www.poedit.net/
2. Find the attached .po file and open it with the poedit you just installed above
3. There is the English field and the Amharic one bellow (at the bottom of the list i placed a few examples)
   

Take a look at the words, since you worked with Drupal I believe you know PHP well, so it's very easy to figure what to translate and what to leave untouched. Once done share you translation version on github or here for the group.

People can collaborate afterwards.

Thanks

Thanks, i have started translating. Installed poedit from Synaptic package manager. I use Linux Mint 16 petra. Yes, this tread was for Joomla, hope it is okey to start with wp for now? //FT
